Mono-slide with tweak, claim

[Kasanovah]

First of all, I'd like to say the new home page shot is killer ...

second, my crew started doin that 3 years ago ...

third, I think he's grinding on his back leg, the way we started it was one foot grind with the front/lead foot then cross the other for style so it didn't look ugly. Basically the same thing as gagnier's pic, but you'd be sliding on your lead foot, i suspect he's on his back foot in that shot.

It was dubbed the "mono-slide" when one foot grinding with your lead leg, and with the cross in we didnt really name it, just said crossed up mono-slide or mono cross.

I've always thought one footed grinds were respectable but usually fugly, mono-slides are the shit compared to back leg one footers ... i predict the mono-slide is hot this year.

prove it

 

[albatross.]

it almost makes me want to cry just thinking about what has gone down on that rail on snowboards and all we can manage is a mute grab on the rail.

 

[Dilla]

haha

yeah i wanna see proof of this so called mono slide

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

Who cares? I was landing with my skis crossed on rails 3 years ago too. They were really low easy flat rails but still. Its not that hard. I never grabbed though.

[Eastrider]

[BFINO13]

y dont you just leave it alone your not on the front page

 

[deathcookie]

u might be able to do all the tricks on the front pages but u wont do them with that much sickness as the pros do. post a video of u doing that down a handrail.

 

[Kasanovah]

lol, well that went the wrong way.

I'm gonna redirect it more in the way i meant it to go lol ... so does anyone else mono-slide out there ? and with shit like that i think a lot of one foot haters will be turned.

and to whoever is disappointed that 'all we can do is mute cross a rail' lol, then get a snowboard sheesh. I mean how much more can ya do, ya want him to hover over it, slide with one ski on, maybe a switch 50 50 ona round rail while he holds his poles in a giant X above his head, or maybe use the ankle curve of his ski boots for a good solid lock-on lol.

(that's all i could come up with, I'll prolly post more later haha)

 

[pmills]

its gonna be about the handstand slide with your poles held in both hands

I missed the part at the sign in page that claimed that it was the first crossed up rail with a grab.
